Things I liked: The gun and scope combo is nice enough for plinking, etc. The gun shoots well, but mine had a defective nitro piston.

Things I would have changed: My nitro piston made a grinding noise when cocking the rifle after the first few shots, which got louder and louder as time went on. PA told me it would go away, which it didn't... and it actually got harder and harder to cycle the rifle.

What others should know: I gave up with finding a cheap and reliable springer and bought a Marauder after returning the NPS.

Things I liked: Very solid build and feel. Feels like a much higher end rifle than it is. Has a nice weight to it.

Things I would have changed: Better optics from the factory, and better trigger from the factory.

What others should know: I returned the rifle due to problems with accuracy emanating from the poor trigger and low quality scope. The rifle was not as quiet as I though it would be, and I ended up buying a Marauder to replace it.

What others should know: Mine was delivered without the dust cover for the air fill valve on the spin lock tank. Also, the pressure gauge on my tank is not working properly.. It reads a few hundred PSI too high when the tank is filled. So that kind of defeats the purposes of having a gauge in the first place. This whole experience kinda makes me wonder if I should've just spent more and got something higher-end to avoid some of these issues.

Things I liked: Bought the .25cal model after returning a .22cal model that had some issues. This one puts out 30FPE with 25.4gr JSBs with the power wheel set to 6 out of 12. Accurate out to 100 yards with my Hawke Sidewinder 6.5-20x42 scope and BKL rings. Easy to fill with my Hill MK3 pump.

Things I would have changed: Upgrade the pistol grip, more ergonomic butt stock, and beef up the trigger guard with more than just a strip of aluminum.

What others should know: The gauges that come with these airguns can be off by 5% or so. So don't use the gauge on the gun when filling it up. Mine reads 3,000 or so PSI when it's really at 2,800. The Talon SS I exchanged for this one was off by 400PSI, which I found to be unacceptable.
